One of the major misconceptions about holiness is that it is outdated and is somehow relegated to church history and legalism. Holiness can mean different things to different people. As an apostolic believer and having grown up in the church, I have heard hundreds of messages on holiness ranging from so many “extremes” depending on the context of each individual ministry and church. The main question to ask on the holiness issue is: what does the bible say regarding this subject? What does the bible not say about this subject? What is the very nature of God?

Jesus Christ, the Builder and Chief Cornerstone of our salvation, has designed three building blocks that lead to the framework of our salvation. These building blocks are repentance, water baptism, and the baptism (infilling) of the Holy Spirit. In this study, we will examine the building blocks and key components of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Baptism is a fundamental practice in Christianity, expressing one’s declaration of faith and the washing away of sins. However, within the diversity of Christian beliefs, the method and formula for baptism vary considerably. Among these variations, one of the most distinctive is the Oneness Apostolic practice of baptism in Jesus’ name. In this article, we will explore the historical importance of Oneness Apostolic Jesus name baptism by delving into three key ideas that shed light on its significance.
